A Few More Macros

[Cobra351]

Nothing spectacular by any means, but here they are anyway!

The first one is my favorite, I'm happy with how the focus and everything came out. I was really close for this shot and upset the wasp I guess, it took off and buzzed around me. The message came through very clearly, I left it alone!

All taken with 300d and Canon 100 2.8 Macro lens.

WOW! Great macros, but I've never seen Wasp's this dark before. :shock: Are these a different species of Wasp to the Yellow ones I'm used to seeing?

Haha!! Thanks a LOT for the help earlier. I found shooting mostly at f10 with this lens, especially on the tripod (even while using it as a modified monopod) really helped out quite a bit. Just part of the learning curve!

Thanks a lot! I guess they are a different species (ok, I'm totally ignorant about them really!). These and even darker ones are what I normally see, so I guess they are different than the yellow ones you mentioned.

Super... and a sweet lens!
